<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1478185, member: 23626&quot;]One of the problems arose when we used those blue Whitman folders to store them in. My 32S was in one and it got some ugly toning as a result. There was also an adhesive of something on the inside that wasn&#039;t good on the coins. We didn;t know better, and those folders were the most readily available at the time. And to make matters worse, some were scotch taped into the folder. Now that acidic paper and the scotch tape left awful discoloration on the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I believe today we are seeing coins that an attempt was made to restore them. I have &quot;cooked&quot; a few Washingtons that removed a lot of tarnish and made them look a lot better. But some cleaning is just wrong to do. Dipping uses acid to eat at the surface of the coins, then we have the people who scrub just a bit to help it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just sayin&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
